Kennedy bluntly attacked the racist apartheid system, praised protest movements worldwide and said those who speak and act against injustice send 'forth a tiny ripple of hope.' Robert Kennedy's greatest speech, his address in South Africa in 1966. Increasingly impassioned through the latter half of the '60s, he co-wrote what many regard as then- Sen. But he differed with the president about Vietnam, left the administration after 1965 and would later contend - to much debate - that Johnson may have been clinically paranoid. Thriving during an era when few feared to be called 'liberal,' Goodwin also worked on some of Lyndon Johnson's most memorable domestic policy initiatives, including his celebrated 'We Shall Overcome' speech.

He was a Boston native and Harvard Law graduate who specialized in broad, inspirational rhetoric - top JFK speechwriter Theodore Sorensen was a mentor - that 'would move men to action or alliance.' Richard N. Brilliant and contentious, with thick eyebrows and a mess of wavy-curly hair, the cigar-smoking Goodwin rose from a working class background to the Kennedy White House before he had turned 30. Kennedy's inner circle and among the last survivors. Goodwin was among the youngest members of President John F. According to his wife, he died after a brief bout with cancer. Goodwin, the husband of Pulitzer Prize winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, died at his home in Concord, Massachusetts.
